I've not been in, so haven't supplied a rating, but just thought it worth mentioning that ETA's "ghastly hole down a filthy back alley entered through a pile of litter whose smell was amplified by the patio-heater" from five years ago appears to have been cleaned up. George Court looks clean enough to eat your breakfast from (admittedly I didn't try this for myself) and certainly the exterior of Retro Bar looks clean and, if your taste runs to drag queens, inviting. I would guess that real ale is probably still not available here, though.

Nothing special about this place. Guinness was OK but there was no real ale at all.

A ghastly hole down a filthy back alley entered through a pile of litter whose smell was amplified by the patio-heater-emphasised heat-trap the alley has become. The bar was dirty, noisy and crowded. Staff were unfriendly. No real ale on offer, just overpriced megakeg. I have no desire to go back here.
